On Beds Made

Cindy Sheehan led a group of people to disrupt a Democratic party press conference. The bed is all made up and now the Democrats get to live with it. For the fringe will even shout down their allies.

Chanting "de-escalate, investigate, troops home now," the protesters disrupted a briefing aimed at outlining priority goals when Democrats take over the House and Senate on Thursday.

Cindy Sheehan, an anti-war activist and mother of a soldier who died in Iraq, led the group to Capitol Hill to warn Democrats that party activists expect them to end the war in Iraq and confront the White House on a change in Iraq strategy.

"We didn't put you in power to work with the people that have been murdering hundreds of thousands of people since they have been in power," Sheehan said. "We put you in power to be opposition to them finally and we're the ones who put them in power."

Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., cut the press conference short when protests drowned out his voice through a dozen microphones set up to record his comments. Emanuel said Democrats would go back to the caucus room and return later.

At some point before the election I predicted that the Democrats would regret their choice of allies. That didn't take long at all did it? You see, Rahm, you did nothing to help win the election for the Sheehans of the world. You encouraged them to shout others down, how's it feel to be on the receiving end? There's a saying here about fleas that applies.
